World’s oceans set new temperature record as global warming intensifies

The average ocean temperature has beat seasonal records since April of this year. The world’s oceans have set a new temperature record with the potential to threaten Earth’s climate, marine life and coastal communities. The temperature of the oceans’ surface hit 20.96 degrees Celsius on Friday, according to European Union climate observatory data. “While there are certainly short-term factors, the main long-term cause is without a doubt the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere caused by human activity, primarily by the burning of fossil fuels,” said Rowan Sutton, director of climate research at the University of Reading.
